Produktbeschreibung

US astronomer Collette Bonnington is hired by the Pentagon to head investigations into a sudden increase in extraterrestrial activity on Earth. Her investigations lead her all over the globe to a rendezvous at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem where the aliens reveal their presence set against the backdrop of the eerie northern lights. When the visiting extraterrestrials reveal their presence what difference will it make? On the edge of extinction, the dying race of visitors face a dilemma. Some of Stephen Gillespie's favourite first contact movies - 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' directed by Robert Wise, 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' directed by Steven Spielberg, 'Starman' directed by John Carpenter, '2010' directed by Peter Hyams and 'Contact' directed by Robert Zemeckis. A favourite science fiction novel - 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams for its Improbability Drive, Babel fish, SEP fields and Vogon poetry. The original radio series is a must listen. A prized graphic novel - 'JLA-Avengers' written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by the legendary George Perez for its compelling collision of DC-Marvel cosmologies. A favourite short story - 'A Small Kindness' by Ben Bova. Favourite musical artists - Kate Bush, David Bowie, Mike Oldfield and Toyah Wilcox. (All inspirational.) A favourite poem - 'Whale Nation' by Heathcote Williams. An important work of non-fiction on the bookshelf - 'Demon Haunted World' by Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan. A small claim to fame - having a letter, regarding a point of Whovian cosmology, published in the pages of the Doctor Who Magazine UK (issue 523). Stephen Gillespie grew up in Derry, Northern Ireland, where he spent his teenage years drawing Supurr mini-comics featuring such superhero creations as Doctor Optic and Anti-Atomic Man.

In 1994 he was awarded his Batchelor of Arts Honours Degree in Theatre Studies from the University of Ulster in Coleraine and in 1996 he recieved his Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching from Northern College, Aberdeen. Since then he has been teaching Secondary and Primary level Drama in Dundee. His novel 'the Merlin Agenda' has been described as 'A spirited fantasy adventure that successfully blends elements of children's stories, folklore, high science and magic into an appealing whole. Very funny, too. A clever, freewheeling adventure.'
